Unanswered: Installing Informix IDS 7.31-UD1 under Linux Red Hat 7.3

Hi to all.
I need help with this problem...

I need help to access a database server from other server. Both servers have Linux Red Hat 7.3, ncurses for library compatibility and the IDS 7.31 RPM. The Database can be accessed by local console, but not from other server.

I think that all the configuration is ready, but when I want to connect from other machine, the dbaccess crash and send the next message later of 20 seconds:

I think that you would to review sqlhosts file, since the name of the
service must be unique for all the instances.
The parameter DBSERVERALIAS must be defined. By this the connection is made.
Por example "albatros ontlitcp albatros albatrostcp"
DBSERVERALIAS=albatros and the service file, albatrostcp nnnn/tcp
And both servers must see themselves.
For example: Server1 rsh "server2 ls -l", if this run ok, then continue.
